Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +6.9 pts: our 48.9% against the market’s 42.0% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -3.4% expected value a unit at +140
  • It did not clear the stake floor after doubt: published as a No Play, graded, never staked

A big raw disagreement is not automatically a bet. The market gets a vote: after our number is blended into the devigged consensus and charged for doubt, what is left has to carry a full unit. Here it did not, so the pick published as a No Play and is graded for calibration only.

Published and graded, never staked.

Technical provenance

forecast 973a9d06-4db0-4159-b853-d4f3b3c6d7f6; draw a4950b87-0f4a-4347-bf33-60ac5c61fe2e

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 58.0%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +140 is 41.7%; our cushion past it is +7.3 pts
  • It settles over the full tournament; a missed cut ends it early and variance runs all four days

Edges this size lose often. The record, not any one pick, is the product.
